After the newly resurrected Empress Dowager Dou learned about the Xuanwu Gate, she kicked and broke the stool leg without saying a word, grabbed Li Shimin and beat her violently.

As a dutiful son, Li Shimin must endure this anger from his old lady.

Li Yuan on the side was also lying on the bed, tilting his head to look at his good son, and sneered incessantly.

Empress Dowager Dou blames Li Shimin on the one hand, and on the other hand she is also sullen at Li Yuan. The fact that the Li family brothers made it this far can only be attributed to his plague-stricken gu-raising tactics.

Just now Empress Dowager Dou was not only beating Li Shimin, but even Li Yuan's dragon's butt was beaten several times.Today, the father and son have a deep understanding of what the Lion's Roar is.

Empress Dowager Dou was still sneering there: "Shimin, don't blame your father, look at yourself, and you want to repeat the mistakes of your father, won't you?"

"Don't be unconvinced. Your father relied on your military talent back then, so he kept giving you hope and giving you unrealistic fantasies. Look at you now, huh? What's the difference? Doting on the fourth child in your family and neglecting the eldest, is that what you do father?"

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, my mother knows I'm wrong, Guanyin maidservant, you go and give my mother the new book of Tang Dynasty to have a look."

Empress Changsun handed over the new Tang book to Empress Dou as she said, and mourned silently for half a second in her heart.

Empress Dowager Dou didn't turn over two or three pages, she slapped the table angrily, stood up and picked up the leg of the stool that beat Li Yuan and his son just now, and roared fiercely: "Where is Li Zhi Li Zhi? This dog-like thing! I am very sorry today!" You must break his dog legs!"

Jin Wang Li Zhi, who had taken refuge in Luoyang, sneezed twice.

Chapter 38 The Lord Blesses

Constantine XI leaning against the St. Romanus Gate.

Tiredness and drowsiness surged up like a tide, and the more than 40-year-old emperor's body was already exhausted after many days of fighting.

After mass, it is rare to take a nap here.

But outside the city, the horn of the Ottoman Empire sounded again.

He knew that this time, it was the enemy's general attack.

As far as the eye could see, soldiers from the Ottoman Empire poured in like a tidal wave, accompanied by loud shouts and earth-shattering artillery fire.

This time Mehmed II played tricks.

He organized death squads, trying to wear down the vigor of the city defenders, and when the enemy was exhausted, he organized an elite division to launch a final assault on the enemy.

This part of the plan seemed seamless.

Due to the relatively weak combat effectiveness of the death squads, coupled with the geographical advantages, the Constantinoples firmly have the upper hand.It is worth noting that Mehmet II's tactics played a role. Under the attrition of these death squads, the defenders were on the verge of collapse in terms of energy and morale.

You know, there are only a few thousand people in Constantinople, and they need to keep changing defenses back and forth to stabilize the defense line. During this back and forth running, the consumption is even greater than that of the Ottomans.

Just when the vigorous energy of the defenders of Constantinople was exhausted, the next wave of offensive came up.

It's the elite Anatolian soldiers!

When the Eastern Roman Empire still controlled the Anatolia region, the soldiers in this area were also the elite of the Eastern Roman Empire, but now they have become sharp scimitars in the hands of the Ottomans.

Wearing elite chain mail, they swarmed up the city walls, and the exhausted Constantinoplers were in chaos.At this critical moment, the bell in the city rang, and Constantinople began to use all its strength to try to stop this group of crazy Ottomans!

Frustratingly, Commander Giustiniani was badly wounded by a stray bullet and had to return for treatment.The garrison soldiers who heard the news that the general was seriously injured were in chaos, which seriously affected their morale. The Ottomans seized this opportunity and climbed onto the city wall!

At this moment, Constantine XI resolutely rushed to the front.

He was not afraid of arrows and stones, and he went into battle to kill the enemy himself, comforting and encouraging every soldier. The morale of the defenders of Constantinople was greatly boosted.

But fate played a trick on Constantinople.

Not far from the frontal battlefield, a few Ottoman soldiers ran between the two city walls like headless chickens. They were pleasantly surprised to find that a small city gate leading to the inner city was quietly opened.

This gate is called the Kokpo Tower Gate, and it is the only way for Constantinople personnel to enter and exit.

Normally, this is a trivial matter.

But now this is war time!This is definitely the life and death that decides the battle situation!

Several Ottoman Guards soldiers rubbed their eyes, unable to believe the facts in front of them.They communicated with each other and decided to break into the door. Anyway, it's dead, so it's better to take a risk!

As it turns out, they succeeded.

When these guard soldiers appeared in the inner city, the defenders in the city were scared out of their wits.In the panic, someone shouted: "Constantinople has been captured!"

As soon as the deadly rumors sounded, the morale of Constantinople collapsed in an instant. The mercenaries who tried to protect Constantinople thought they had been betrayed, and abandoned their weapons and fled.Constantine XI looked at the wolf running in front of him, his eyes were tearing apart, and his heart was broken.

He raised his sword and became a brave man who went upstream in the crowd rushing towards the port.

He has decided that, as the emperor of the Romans, dying in battle in front of the capital is his best destination.

He prayed inwardly.

"God I'm your unqualified believer"

"Not only did you not spread your glory to the barbaric land, but you lost the land"

"But if you really are all-knowing and all-powerful, as believers say"

"Please Hear My Prayer"

"Save my people, save my Rome"

While praying, Constantine swung his sword and chopped down a hideous Ottoman guard.

Just when he was desperate, there was a voice in his mind.

"Do you want to join the Tiantian chat group?"
